Need some help***Be Warned I'm angry and philosophical. :)*****

I've been thinking about a way to protest the current state of the church. Obviously it needs to be non-violent and simple. I've come up with something, but now I'm trying to decide if I believe in protest or not. Is anyone familiar with the work of Rene Girard? He wrote about mimetic violence. I'm trying to figure out why I need to protest and if by protesting I will start off a chain of events that will lead to either actual or ritual violence.

The idea is to take a post it note and write Ichabod on it and attach it to the door frame of the church that abused me. Everyone I care about has left the church and only the hardcore abusers and abusees remain. I feel that after thinking it over for 5 years I can rightly say that they are false teachers.

My concern is that after I begin writing letters to editors and articles for magazines etc. that the idea will take on a life of it's own and that people who haven't thought about it for five years will start labeling every church Ichabod. I worry that giving a voice to the timid it will be taken over by those who will misuse it and attack legitimate ministries. I feel that my small action would be justified and I think that other people would benefit from acting in a similar manner. The only thing is that this could be/will be abused. I could just do my own little protest and not bother anybody else with what I'm doing.

What do you think?
